Small correction: he told people Mexico would pay for it. Because how could he possibly make another country pay for anything? Lol. Only thing stupider was that people believed that shit.
He did try. He begged the Mexican president to pay for it. "You gotta help me out." The Mexican president did not help him out.
You gotta source for that? All I heard was that the Mexican president addressed it publicly after Trump said this bs on the campaign trail.
They leaked the phone call. https://m.facebook.com/thedailyshow/videos/the-transcript-of-trumps-leaked-phone-call-with-mexicos-president-is-absolutely-/10155665433246800/?wtsid=rdr_0nUJb1eV7oYvkORK6

For some reason my search results refuse to turn up the actual transcript, just other people reading exerpts.
Haha I think I missed that! Thanks for this. You're right that he did beg the Mexican president, but it sounds like he didn't care at all if he actually did it. He just wanted him to say he would pay for it lol
